NAME

6       mheardd - collect information about packet activity
7

SYNOPSIS

9       mheardd [-f] [-l] [-n number] [-p [!]port1[,port2,..]] [-v]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Mheardd  is a daemon that collects the statistics about the activity on
13       all the AX.25 channels that  are  configured.  The  list  generated  is
14       available  for  viewing  by the mheard(1) program. The information col‐
15       lected is a superset of the information normally collected  by  similar
16       mheard  programs and this is reflected in the options available for the
17       viewing program. Logging to the system log file may  be  enabled  which
18       will  enable monitoring of pathalogical conditions, for example invalid
19       frame types and invalid/unknown protocol IDs.

OPTIONS

22       -f        Deletes the existing mheard logging file at program  startup,
23                 this is not the default.
24
25       -l        Enables logging to the system log file. The default is off.
26
27       -n number Sets  the  number  of  entries in the activity list file, the
28                 default is 100. The minimum value allowed is 10 and the maxi‐
29                 mum is 1000.
30
31       -p [!]port1[,port2,..]
32                 With  -p,  you  instruct  mheardd to only listen on specified
33                 ax25 ports.  You may give more ports, seperated by  ','.   If
34                 you introduce the port(s) by a leading '!', then mheardd will
35                 listen on all ports except those you specified.
36
37       -v        Display the version.
